Xiaoxiao was very touched. “Mother, do you want to eat Crystal Jelly?” “I want grape-flavored ones. Also, don’t tell your Father. He keeps scaring me for eating sweet food at night!”

Hmph, how is that possible? My precious daughter’s toothbrush and toothpaste is very useful. I brush my teeth seriously every day!”

Xiaoxiao:…

Xiao Ran asked again, “By the way, this post says that everyone who goes to the banquet has to bring a pot of flowers. Our empty space is the martial arts arena. If we don’t have flowers, why don’t we borrow a pot from your grandfather?”

Xiaoxiao said, “There’s no need. My Second Brother brought me the flowers planted in my hometown in Fortune Village.”

Xiao Ran’s facial features twisted when she saw this. “Just these few pots of grass?”

Her daughter was even less concerned about the flower appreciation banquet than her. “It’s not appropriate, right? Although those people are not worth our effort to begin with, this is too perfunctory. Why don’t we go to the market and spend a few taels of silver to buy a pot of chrysanthemums?”

Xiaoxiao was helpless and was about to explain when she saw Gu Chang’an glaring at her.

“Spring Sword Royal Orchid?”

“Emerald Grade One?”

He looked at another pot of orchids that he had never seen before but had a bearing. “And what is this?”

Xiaoxiao said, “It’s called the Plain Crown Lotus Cauldron. I dug these up from Dayan Mountain.”

The other two pots were exchanged from the mall, considering that the Plain Crown Lotus Cauldron was a new breed and probably no one knew it.

She lied through her teeth. “At that time, I thought that they were beautiful and it seemed good to use them to decorate the house, so I dug them up and planted them.”

“I forgot about them later.”

Gu Chang’an was dumbfounded. “Fortunately you forgot about them. The Spring Sword Royal Orchid and Emerald Grade One are extremely precious orchids!”

Xiaoxiao asked, “Are they high-class enough for the flower appreciation banquet?”

Gu Chang’an fell silent. Xiao Ran didn’t know anything about flowers and plants. “Are they too ordinary?” If she had to say it, she should buy some. 20 taels was enough to buy a large pot.

Then, they heard Gu Chang’an say, “I’m wondering if they’re worthy.” Scholars especially loved orchids and felt that they were noble, elegant, and natural. The more Gu Chang’an looked at them, the more he liked them’. Xiaoxiao simply pulled him to the flowerpots that Ning Anhui brought to the Imperial Capital. “Here, Father, you can choose whatever you want.”

Gu Chang’an’s eyes almost fell out.

He could treat gold and silver as dung, but facing these in front of him, his heart could not help but surge.

“So many? Did you dig them all from Dayan Mountain?” What should he do? He really wanted to go to Fortune Village again.

Xiao Ran also asked, “What breed is this chrysanthemum? It’s completely golden, and the flower is about the size of your palm! ”

Xiaoxiao said, “I call it the Golden Silk Royal Chrysanthemum. When I saw it I felt…”

Gu Chang’an felt that his daughter might say something shocking. As expected she said—

“I thought that this flower could make a big pot of tea. It’s so convenient, so I dug it back. This chrysanthemum is easy to keep. There’s a large patch of flowers whenever it opens. I dried it a lot. I’ll make tea for you tonight.”

“You…” Gu Chang’an hesitated for a long time before saying the second half of the sentence.” You’re a blessed person.”

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the flower appreciation banquet. Xiaoxiao rode the General’s Residence’s carriage to the Yan Family’s courtyard and saw Gu Ruoruo, who was obviously waiting for her at the door.

The little girl nimbly jumped into the carriage and said concisely, “Did you prepare the flowers? If not, I—”

Looking at the row of orchids in the carriage that she had only seen and never touched, Gu Ruoruo lost her ability to speak.

Xiaoxiao asked her, “I brought a lot. Do you want them?”

Gu Ruoruo shook her head with difficulty. “I-I brought some.”

“However, let’s cover the flowers first…”

Everyone did this so that they could either amaze the world with a single feat or prevent themselves from embarrassing themselves when they realized that the difference was too great.

Xiaoxiao probably didn’t know, but Gu Ruoruo had seen that group of noble ladies showing off.

Today, she was waiting to see that group of people’s jaws drop!

Everyone’s flowers were placed in the open space of the flower appreciation banquet. According to Gu Ruoruo, this was because someone had secretly changed or damaged the flowers brought by others in the past. Later on, they simply placed them under everyone’s noses.

When everyone saw that Xiaoxiao and Gu Ruoruo’s behavior were different, Xiaoxiao did not care what those bored people were whispering about.

However, someone clearly saw her, but she deliberately bumped into her and said, “Aiya, so it’s Princess Xiao. I’m sorry I didn’t see you just now. You won’t mind, right?”

No one around spoke, waiting to watch a good show. Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. “No, I mind. Apologize.”

Zuo Xiangling was stunned. “What?”

Then, she mocked, “You’re a princess after all. Your status is different now. You’re actually so arrogant!”

Xiaoxiao crossed her arms. “Since you know that I’m a princess and that I’m much more noble than you, why don’t you bow?”

“Twelve, Eighteen.”

The two female guards behind her stepped forward and kicked Zuo Xiangling in the knee.

Xiaoxiao recalled the novels and television dramas she had seen in the past and blew at her nails in disdain. “This apology is very sincere. I accept it. Get up.”

Looking around, the noble ladies from the various families, who were originally looking down on her, felt their hearts skip a beat. They all knelt down obediently. “Greetings, Princess.”

Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “There’s no need to be so polite. We’re about the same age. Just call me by my name. I’m Xiao Ning, my style name is An’ning.”

An Ning” was her title and the style name her parents had given her.

She was Xiao Ning, also a princess.

After that, these noble ladies were obviously much more obedient. Even if the guards could not follow them all the time, no one dared to disturb Xiaoxiao.

She could not be bothered to socialize with these people, so she complained with Gu Ruoruo that the snacks tasted bad.

In her boredom, Xiaoxiao saw someone walking straight towards her.

This person’s facial features were a little familiar. Xiaoxiao glanced at Zuo Xiangling behind her and had a guess about this woman’s identity.

I, Zuo Qingyan, greet the princess.”

This was the legitimate daughter of the Imperial Censor Zuo family, Zuo Xiangling’s legitimate sister.

From the looks of it, Zuo Xiangling must have complained. However, Zuo Qingyan was quite a character. She probably hated her to death, but her expression was kind and friendly.

“This is the princess’s first time coming to the flower appreciation banquet, right? If there’s anything you’re not used to, you must tell me. By the way, you know that you’re bringing flowers today, right?”

“If you forget, I have plenty. You can choose one.”

As the saying went, one shouldn’t hit a smiling person. She was so enthusiastic.

If Xiaoxiao didn’t appreciate it, it would seem unreasonable.

However, she absolutely did not believe that this rumored popular candidate for the crown princess consort would look at her without any ill feelings.

As the saying goes, one who is unaccountably solicitous must be up to something. This Zuo Family’s daughter must have her own motives.

The smart Gu Ruoruo reminded Xiaoxiao softly, “Be careful. This kind of quiet person is the scariest.”

That’s right. Xiaoxiao had just picked up her teacup when she heard the system announcement: [Ding, an exotic ingredient has been discovered. Its function is beep—not suitable for children.]

Xiaoxiao:…

Zuo Xiangling, who was following beside Zuo Qingyan, happened to meet Xiaoxiao’s gaze. Her eldest sister’s methods had always been flawless. She did not think that Xiao Ning would notice, but why did she seem to be able to see the disdain in Xiao Ning’s eyes?

Who was she looking down on?
